This poll is slightly different from the other one (In a perfect world) because it also asks whether you're cut now. And yes, I know a couple of guys who don't know if they're cut or not. "

True, though this was devised to answer someone who claimed more guys would get cut if it wasn't for cost, pain, abstinence afterwards, etc. (And equally, more might restore if if wasn't for the trouble and time.) This removes those from the equation.

I am circumcised and would probably change if I could conveniently. However, I think a lot of lingering over this has been done that shouldn't be. We guys circumcised or uncircumcised should really make the best of what we have. You uncircumcised guys can always be cut but be sure you want to. I tried restoring being really tightly circ'ed and found the process to be a real irritation, tape and all plus the messing with keeping everything attached every time I peed. To much trouble to maintain for a couple of years. I gained enough to loosen things up in about three months. I am happy but would I be if things didn't turn out like I expected after a year or two? Some things come with a high price tag. Enjoy how you are or pay the price only it can be high. For you young guys it might be worth it to do the uncirc process. But remember the only way to undo a uncirc is a circ.

Judging from the answers so far it looks like 66% of men prefer to be uncut.

True, but having separated out where they are coming from, it's a backward move to merge them again - one of these discussions got bogged down with some idiot insisting that circumcision was OK because "most guys are happy the way they are". That would still be true if (numbers just for illustration) 1001 circumcised guys liked it and 1499 hated it, while 500 intact guys liked it and 1 hated it.

Also, you need to look at the context: intact guys in circumcising cultures who want to be circumcised are in a very diffent position from intact guys in non-circumcising cultures who want to be, and vice versa.

Look at the ratios of the two: intact guys like it ~3:1, circumcised guys dislike it ~8:5. Therefore, if you want your son to be happy, your chances are much better if you leave him intact.

Big disclaimer. This is far too small a sample to have any statistical power, and not a random sample of the general population, or even a random sample of LPSG. (I tried this on a UK site, but there were too few circumcised guys to get a useful answer.)
